Slow

This app drains my phone very badly. This app needs to be update. This app crashes lot and freezes.

See which stations broadcast Rush Limbaugh...

I use this app to see which stations broadcast Rush Limbaugh so that I can avoid them. I would say that I probably use it once every few years when I am camping, because what other situation would one listen to the radio nowadays. Honestly, I was surprised that so many stations do broadcast him considering he is clearly a fossilized shill, but I guess radio is gasping it’s last few breaths. Because the Young Turks are on YouTube (and YouTubeTV), I get to watch it all the time, and listen to it while driving, and actually get facts followed by the hosts opinions which I sometimes disagree with. It’s kind of weird, all the progressive programming is way ahead of the curve, streets ahead if you will, using new media while conservative programming thinks, “Radio? Sounds great!“

Wrong station information

Rush is not on WABC 770 in New York City area. It has been switched to WOR 710. This app needs updating.

Doesn't work!

I've downloaded it twice but can't get it to work. Either fix it or remove as a Rush locator app!

Good But Needs Updating

Overall this app has been very helpful as we travel but I too have noticed an occasion where updating is needed. The 640 AM station listed for Atlanta seems to be a Spanish only station currently. Never did find much in the way of good stations in that area. Finally as we were leaving the city going north we found 570 AM, which was not on the list. I also could not find a way of reporting this need for an update to the app maker. When in FL one of the AM stations was giving an FM alternative that was not on this app's list. I still like the app overall though.
